Funny / Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Go To

Given who created the film, it's not a surprise there are plenty of these.


  • Conner's payroll includes a Perspective Manipulator (a short man he has stand next to him to make him look taller) and a guy who's entire job is punching him in the nuts (to remind him where he came from).
  • "Equal Rights", Conner's first single off of CONNquest, in which he supports gay marriage... while saying various things asserting his heterosexuality.
    • "Not Gay!"
    • "Titties!"
    • "Hot Wings!"
    • "N'gay!"
    • "Nunchucks!"
    • "True love trumps all- Predator, flying kicks not gay!"
    • "Big watch!"
    • "Lying in bed next to 10 beautiful girls (all straight!)"
    • "Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!"
    • "Not n-not n-not not gay!"
    • Listen to how he says the last "You're gay!" It sound like an accusation!
    • Ringo Starr is not impressed:
      "He's writing this song for gay marriage. You know...like it's not allowed. It's allowed now."
    • In a deleted scene, Seth Meyers asks Conner if he knew that his lyrics quoted the slogan ("Sexual freedom for all") of notorious pedophile organization NAMBLA.
      Conner: You know, Seth, I didn't, and I just think it's so sad that we live in a world where nobody told me that before I put the song out.
  • The entirety of Conner's catchphrase verse is A Wild Rapper Appears! taken up to eleven.
    • D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Dilbert!
    • Sorry Dad!
    • Dinky Nuts!
    • Patrick Stewart Money
    • Zerbert in the Sherbert!
    • SQUARK!!
    • Costco samples like a motherfucker!
  • Harry's poolside interview about the poor albums sales, telling the camera crew that Connor's going to be fine. Pan over to Connor, wrapped in a towel and looking miserable, letting himself fall over into the pool.
  • It was me... or was it?
    • And the payoff later in the film. "It was me".. and it taking Conner a second to realize what it means.
  • Seal taking down a wolf when Conner's proposal to Ashley goes to hell and the wolves escape. He then explains this isn't the first time this has happened to him.
    Seal: How do you think I got these scars?
    Conner: (surprised) Wolves??
    Seal: Fucking wolves.

    • WE JUST KILLED SEAL!
    • As an added bonus, the song Seal was singing is "Mona Lisa" with a different arrangement and new lyrics.
  • The opening number "I'm So Humble" as well as the various hologram shenanigans
    • The song ending on Conner surrounded by his own holograms.
    • Conner having one of the Holograms t-bag Owen and later having one of Adam Levine's holograms fuck another Adam Levine hologram.
    Mariah Carey: "I'm So Humble" - I instantly connected with that because I'm probably the most humble person that I know.
  • ALL of the CMZ Segments.
    • The CMZ Reporter played by Eric André's overly long laugh in the first one.
    • Will Arnett's character topping himself on drinks to the point where he's drinking the other employees’ and ends the segment with 5 cups duct taped together.
    • The ending bit. The Style Boyz reunion causes the CMZ crew to realize how pointless their lives are... and then they get right back to it once they find a photo of James Franco exiting Denny's.
  • The second credits song, "Legalize It" "IIIIIIIII just smoked crack!"
  • Conner asks if anyone has an idea for an opening act:
    Tim: Just one, but you are gonna like it.
    Conner: .. Are or aren't?
    Tim: Are.
  • Finest Girl. "Fuck me like we fucked Bin Laden!"
    • "I can see you horny like a stegasaur"
    • "Gotta Terrorize that pussy!"
    • "You’re harboring a fugitive!" "Dat ass!" "And my justice will be punitive!" "I'mma smash!"
  • The epic final number, Incredible Thoughts. Conner and the reunited Style Boyz teaming up with Michael Bolton.
    • Mr. Fish the Wish Fish who is actually Tyrus Quash, Conner's chef played by Justin Timberlake!
  • "Mona Lisa, the original Basic Bitch!"
    • "Looks like a garbage pail kid!"
    • "And DaVinci must've sucked an art historians dick, to get this girl who looks like uncooked bread to the top of the all time list, of paintings."
    • The quick change from the first verse (which sounds as if it will praise the painting) to the chorus.
    "Pushed my way to the front of the crowd and I couldn't believe what I saw / Mona Lisa, you're an overrated piece of shit!"
  • The nationwide backlash at Conner's Product Placement with Aquaspin.
    "PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLS C4R 'A DUMBF**K'"
  • All of the shenanigans caused by Owen's ridiculous helmet. Particularly the time he falls on top of his equipment and, trying to take the helmet off, ends up turning on its overpowered light straight at the audience, who cover their faces and retreat.
  • Owen in general, really:
    Conner: Owen, do you have your equipment?
    Owen: Right here. *Holds up his iPod.*
    • Later:
    Lawrence: Conner. Owen.
    Owen: Lawrence... Conner. *Sheepishly* I was... I was just....
  • Connor's test of his entourage. After he feeds everyone dogshit-laden pancakes, Owen freaks out while... the other two try to compliment his "genius plan" and almost butter him up enough to forget his original point. And after it's all over... we see Conner's PA Sarah chilling at the end of the table happily munching away at the pancakes, oblivious to everything else going on. Conner is visibly unsettled.
    • Even funnier in a deleted scene: originally, Owen's freakout led to a long shouting match with Conner, in which both used increasingly ridiculous insults, much to the confusion of the other two. Sarah apparently didn't react to both the shit in her pancakes and all the shouting.
  • Connor interrupting his post-Poppy's inner monologue to note how intensely Lawrence and the stagehand are making out.
  • The deleted song, "Fuck Off," crosses the line again and again and again.
  • The Reveal that Lawrence's farm is a marijuana farm and the boys go wild, even converting the Poppy into a bong. Bonus points for just how nice Lawrence is to his employees, going to giving them the rest of the day off.
  • Conner opening the car window while looking away, intent on signing a fan's pair of breasts, only to be met with a penis note  which he very reluctantly signs, much to Lawrence's amusement. The whole situation is also a hilarious Mood Whiplash, coming in the middle of a serious conversation between Conner and Lawrence.
  • Connor starts to once again chew out Lawrence for insisting he was behind the catchphrase verse, only to slowly regain his memory of that day bit by bit and ultimately realize Lawrence really did do all the work on it, maintaining his defensive tone the whole time.
